From what I've read about him today, he's only just (literally today) signed a two year pro deal at WBA and Tony Mowbray loves the guy. The deal was going to be done earlier in the preseason but he was given a run in their first team and made his premier league debut.

Also from what I've seen, he's a different type of midfielder to what we have currently (which includes our youth players). I've pretty sick and tired of reading the misery on Twitter about Tomlinson and Hardcastle... but lets face it Tony knows these guys better than any of us and if he thinks getting a borderline Prem quality kid in instead is the better deal, then I trust him on that.

Harper got himself sent off in the first game against Crewe then did his best to get sent off in the replay. He might have the talent but he has a lot to learn to make it as a professional footballer. Lets hope for his sake he is more suited to the premier league than League One.
